[SMW-devel] Parameter definitions

Hey all,
Over the last few months I've done some serious refactoring in the
Validator extension to make it more modular, less complex and easier to
extend. The most significant change for code utilizing it is that the way
parameters are defined has changed. In short, you should now use a new
array-based syntax to define them or a class implementing
IParameterDefinition (Validator has an abstract ParameterDefinition and a
bunch of concrete deriving classes for different parameter types) rather
then the old Parameter, which is now deprecated (but will continue to work
for some time). All result formats in SMW have been updated to use this new
kind of definition, and I will soon do the same for those in SRF and
Semantic Maps. If you write any new formats, please use the new format. I
have yet to update the Validator docs on MediaWiki.org, but you can find
examples in SMWs result formats (and in the end the concepts is still the
same as before).
Cheers
